Hello everyone. I am looking forward to hooking up my dreamcast into my cabinet. I have a naki vga box which i am going to hack and a vga to rgb cable to wire to my monitor. I understand that i have to splice off the ends of the rgb cable and wire it to my monitor ALTHOUGH I do not understand where to wire the ends to.... I could take pics of my monitor in my cabinet if needed. Please help!!!! :applaud:

we need the make/model of the monitor and pics please,hopefully you should have 5 wires red/green/blue/ground and composite sync

Hello again. The monitor is a Wells Gardner 25K7197. I could post pics of the internals if needed

usually toward the back right rear of the chasssis is your R,G,B,GND,H,V, inputs on the monitor.
if your using your own home made vga cable you must connect the above along with twisting all the grounds together and connecting them to your ground input on the chassis
a pinout for the vga breakout can be found at www.ultimarc.com
they also make breakout cabes that are labled on each wire where you just connect the correct wire signals to the correct spot on monitor.
as for the vga box open it up and cut the "#6 white wire" and it puts it in 15K mode once you do that you loose the vga signal becuase you just spit it but it is possible to add a on/offtoggle switch to the cut white wire where you can still use the vgabox for vga tv and arcade 15K :cheers:
